Scientology leader David Miscavige was finally served with a long-standing human trafficking lawsuit this week.

The suit was filed last year on behalf of three former members of the church who accused Miscavige of trafficking them into his organization as minors, per Insider .

In court documents viewed by the outlet, Valeska Paris and married couple Gawain and Laura Baxter alleged that they were coerced to join the religion and its notorious Sea Organization arm to provide unpaid labor and services for a decade or longer.

Plaintiffs were placed on a ship they could not leave and routinely punished by being humiliated, interrogated, and imprisoned, for the sole purpose of ensuring Plaintiffs would continue to perform back breaking free labor, the suit alleged.

A recent absence from public view widely chronicled in the press had prevented Miscavige from being served. According to the court documents, he evaded process servers 27 times at five different locations in Florida and California over four months.

Florida Magistrate Judge Julie Sneed, however, ruled this week that hes now considered served. The church leader has been given 21 days to respond to the civil suit.
